Sonic visualiser: an open source application for viewing, analysing, and annotating music audio files

Sonic Visualiser is a friendly and flexible end-user desktop application for analysis, visualisation, and annotation of music audio files. Its stated goal is to be “the first program you reach for when want to study a musical recording rather than simply listen to it”. To this end, it has a user interface that resembles familiar audio editing applications, a set of useful standard visualisation facilities, and support for a plugin format for additional automated analysis methods.
